Glen Urquhart Cottage | RiverView Holiday Cottage - Loch Ness

2 Bedroom Cottage in Glen Urquhart, Drumnadrochit

Riverview is a genuine Highland Cottage, traditionally built around 1890 with solid two foot thick walls. The cottage is detached and arranged on one level with easy access throughout.
Set in the quiet location of Strathnacro, just outside the small village of Balnain, RiverView is less than 3 miles from the popular tourist centre of Drumnadrochit and the famous Loch Ness. A further 20 minutes away, a beautiful drive along the shores of Loch Ness, is the vibrant Highland Capital of Inverness.
Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat with deserted country walks and abandoned beaches, or action packed climbing, mountain and quad biking, horse riding or sailing - RiverView Cottage will be your perfect base.
Nearby Inverness has excellent long distance transport links, from which RiverView Cottage can be reached via public transport.
Acquired in 2011 and run by a local trust for the benefit of two Inverness school boys, Riverview has been operated as a holiday let for almost thirty years.
Riverview cottage will comfortably accommodate four people in two bedrooms.
The kitchen, lounge and master bedroom are all dual aspect rooms, making the cottage a cosy but light and airy place to be.
The lounge has a feature fireplace with the thick walls retaining heat in the winter but keeping it cool in the summer.
The kitchen has been recently refitted with modern wall and base units and is well equipped while also providing room for dining.
You will find one double bedroom and one twin bedroom along with a shower room fitted with the usual electric shower, toilet, sink and shaver points.
Outside you have a private garden ground to the rear as well as side and front garden with established borders, trees and shrubs. There is a private drive with parking space enough for three or four cars. There is drive in drive out access, so no awkward reversing and turning.
Riverview cottage also benefits from it's own small area of woodland leading to the banks of the river Enrick.
The cottage is run on the simple premise of keeping life easy and honest.
As a holiday destination we must apologise that we do not take business or commercial lets.
DISABLED ACCESS:
There are no specific disabled modifications and no wheelchair access. But RiverView is all on one level with two small steps at the entrance and a very small step between lounge and entrance hall. We have though recently added grab handles at the front door and in the shower, as these will assist our more ‘senior’ guests.

Sheila H. Apr 14, 2025 10:41:01 PM

Summary: We used the cottage as a base, we were out and about most days. The cottage was cold in evening as the heating didn’t come on until we had gone to bed. We used the electric fire to warm the place up. Fr the most part we were very happy with the cottage. If enough for just the two of us. TV and tv signal was a let down 17” monitor really not good Bed was comfy with nice clean bedding. Shower was poor, low pressure with a shower head that refused to stay upright. We kept dehumidifier on 24/7 as requested and was emptying it up to 3 times a day, you could smell damp when entering the cottage but not over powering. On the whole we were happy with our stay and good value for money

Summary: Cute and warm little cottage, fully equipped with anything you might need for a stay. Slightly dated but reflective in cost. The only thing I would say is negative is the shower. Watch out for the deer in the field opposite.

Pat M. Oct 5, 2023 06:00:04 AM

Summary: Fantastic wee property, comfy, cosy and clean, thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay, well equiped, nice garden area to chill in, spacious inside, particularly liked the drive in drive out exits, pretty woodland area leading to the river. Great base for Inverness, Fort Augustus & Glen Affric where we enjoyed some great hiking opportunities, plenty of Munro's to tick off the list.

Chris T. Jun 28, 2023 11:00:45 AM

Summary: Very charming cottage with loads of scottish character. Felt very secluded, but was actually quite close to everything. Beautiful home.

Lawrence A. May 29, 2023 11:01:25 AM

Summary: Our only advice is that the bunk beds in the second bedroom are unsuitable for adults. The mattresses are designed for children and so are the widths. Otherwise we very much appreciated our stay

Austin S. Jan 25, 2023 01:00:10 PM

Summary: Had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. Everything we needed was provided, and we really appreciated getting away from the city for a spell. Thank you, Adrian!

Cheryl S. Nov 6, 2022 07:00:03 AM

Summary: Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very cosy and well equipped. The location was great for exploring the surrounding area.

David P. Aug 12, 2022 06:00:04 AM

Summary: This spacious cottage felt like a home from home, and lived up to all our expectations. We appreciated the the little touches provided by Adrian. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, and my wife really appreciated the excellent lighting for reading and painting in the evenings. The bed was very comfortable and we slept like logs after our long walks during the day. This is an excellent base for touring this beautiful area with no shortage of interesting places to visit.

David and Janet H. Jul 4, 2022 06:00:05 AM

Summary: This cottage is cosy, well equipped and and in an ideal situation for exploring the surrounding area. It is very reasonably priced. The only drawback is that it is situated near a road on which the cars speed by, about 10-12 an hour, which disturbs the peace of this beautiful spot.

Scott S. Oct 12, 2021 06:00:05 AM

Summary: A beautiful, quaint little cottage, in a fantastic location, really quiet and relaxed, but only a short drive to Loch Ness exhibition and Urquhart Castle. I'm so glad we decided to stay here rather than our original plan of staying in Inverness, so much charm and character, we loved it.
